Glenna: The Nordic Cloud Project

DescriptionThe goal of the Glenna Nordic Cloud project is to share knowledge and set best practices on managing cloud services and to create a Nordic federated cloud service, driven by the need of the Nordic researchers.
The sharing of the cloud resources in the Nordic countries enables an easier form of collaboration form for researchers. Instead of moving large amounts of data between countries, the analysis can be done where the data is.Sharing also evens out the peaks and valleys between resource demand and capacity in the individual sites/countries.
The Nordic Cloud creates a secure and fair share marketplace of services for scientific collaboration within the Nordic countries. The Nordic Cloud supports multinational research programs by making it easier to use and fund services provided by several national resource centers.
